THE NEW MUTANTS Concept Art Reveals A Very Different Take On The Monstrous Demon Bear

The New Mutants didn't exactly end Fox's X-Men Universe on a high note, but this must-see new concept art gives us a better idea of the work that went into bringing the monstrous Demon Bear to life...

The New Mutants was by no means a disaster, but watching the movie, it was easy enough to see why Fox wanted to move forward with reshoots. Those were scrapped when Disney acquired the studio, of course, and Josh Boone's original cut ended up being the first major blockbuster in theaters when they re-opened over the summer (beating Tenet to the punch).

Demon Bear was the lead villain in the Marvel Comics adaptation, and a formidable adversary for the mutants who found themselves at the mercy of Dr. Cecila Reyes.

Now, concept artist Deryl Braun has shared some of his early designs for Demon Bear, one of which bears a striking resemblance to the Venom symbiote. That was no doubt coincidental, and there's a vast array of alternate takes on the classic comic book villain to be found here.

It's hard to imagine when the New Mutants and Demon Bear will return to the big screen, though Marvel Studios will almost certainly make use of some of the characters in the coming years (fans would definitely like to see more of Anya Taylor-Joy's version of Magik, anyway).

Check out this concept art from The New Mutants below:

why do people disliked it. sure it wasnt as good as first class or had the xmen vibe like deadpool, but i thought it was a decent movie.

@Superheromoviefan - haven’t seen it to decide but I’m not fan new mutants will give it chance if I like it

Amuro - 10/19/2020, 2:01 PM

@Superheromoviefan - Same here. A decent movie, not a really good one but definitely not a bad one either. Still, it felt too much like the first part of a planned trilogy, introducing the characters more than anything.

Has anyone even watched this?

kitheka - 10/19/2020, 3:31 AM

@MaximusTheMad - waiting for its digital release.

@MaximusTheMad - No one.
Ever will.

@MaximusTheMad - Wasn't that good. Not as bad as Dark Phoenix. The characters were cool, saw it in the theater I'd watch it again given the chance

It would probably be some time before we see the characters again, if rumors of Marvel wanting previously unseen characters are anything to go by. And probably not these versions.
